      Kežmarok Castle is the only completely preserved castle in Spiš. The first written mention of it dates back to 1463. The builders and first owners of the castle were the brothers Imrich and Štefan Zápoľský. In 1528 they were succeeded by the Lasky family, in 1571 by Ján Rueber, and in the years 1579 - 1684 it was owned by four generations of the Thököly family. The last owner of the castle was Ferdinand Rueber, and in 1702 it was purchased by the city of Kežmarok.

      Currently, it houses historical exhibitions documenting the development of Kežmarok and the surrounding area.
